Trinity College Old Library & The Book of Kells Exhibition

Definitely buy your tickets online to avoid waiting in a huge line . (Pro tip: you can buy on your phone when you get there.) The Book of Kells has a cool history, but the Long Room is amazing!

The Book of Kells is very cool, but note that you WILL NOT take pictures in that section. The Long Room is stunning. It looks like it is straight from a movie set. Do not miss it.

The Old Library is truly a sight to behold: stacks upon stacks of teetering ancient wooden bookshelves that seem to go on and up for miles. Admission includes a visit to the Book of Kells. Read more

We took a student tour and very much enjoyed it. The library itself was incredible and very much worth the price of admission (which was 13 of the 14 euros we paid for the tour !)

Beautiful and interesting exhibit but it's literally packed with people. Buy your ticket online in advance and show up right on time so that you don't have to wait.

The long room is amazing, and made up for the high cost. We went in the afternoon and it was very, very crowded . Take note - buy tickets ahead of time (even from right outside) to skip the line

Architecture , book and history enthusiasts dream. You get to see the Book of Kells before you enter. A def must see when in Dublin.

The library area is really amazing to look at. Sadly there are lots of people and it can be a bit difficult to enjoy

I love this please, full of historical things and well reserved . I will miss this place after several visits to this library during my Master course.

The library is medical and the exhibition on illuminated manuscripts is very interesting. The book itself is difficult to see unless you are lucky and get to see the illuminated page. Worth a visit!

The library is currently undergoing restoration and most of the books have been removed from the shelves. Wait until it’s finished if you can. Still charging full ticket price though!

Not ashamed to admit I teared up in the long room . The tall shelves of old tomes, the busts of historical characters, the displays about the books ... it is the most beautiful library I’ve ever seen.

Buy online and skip the queue. And enjoy walking some of the oldest books in the country .

Beautiful campus buildings! Come early if you want to see the Book of Kells because the lines can get long later in the day.

Exhib is subpar. By the library is magnificent and worth the ticket price. Buy it in advance online.

You should book a guided student tour at the entrance to the college. 13 € (09/2015) including book of kells and it's worth it. ????

Smells like leather and knowledge plus see 4 pages from the Book and an exhibition on it for €11 in advance purchase or long line and €14 day of.

30 min tour of the campus is €13, only €2 more than the Library/Book of Kels ticket which is included, so great value . Buy just inside front gate of Trinity and you can use credit card

That's an excellent collection and library ! It was well protected until today. Before you go, you should read about The Book of Kells. It'll be more meaningfull visit

Absolutely stunning view of the long hall . Experience in May 2016 for Book of Kells: always long queue to get in. Highly recommended to buy tickets online

Exhibition is very small. I expected a bit more. But the videos are nice. The highlight is the long hall upstairs. Very nice in the afternoon with sunlight

It’s a nice place but it’s not worth the ticket price. There are looooads of places as good as this for free in Dublin.

This is one of the place that should be seen before die. I felt in harry Potter movie when i was at the threshold of the big hall. Exhibition is facinating ????????????

The most beautiful place in Dublin. Must visit it! It's wondeful

Much much more than the home of book of Kells. An amazing library that you absolutely must see!

Beautiful. But you should take the college walking tour to make your money's worth. The tour is €12 and includes entrance to the library and book of Kells.

The oldest library . It's really incredible.

They're removing all the books for restoration, which I get, but now it's just a long room with lots of empty shelves. It's really lost all the beauty and magic.

An absolute must! Beautiful building, book of Kells and the Harp- guinness symbol from 11th century are on the display

The library was beautiful, and the exhibition was very interresting. But I missed seeing the actual book in real life....or did I do something wrong?

Last entrance is at 16:30. What suprise me: gift shop is closing at 17 no matter how many people want trow their money for library souvenirs. They just kick all out, to be sure close&lock at 17:00.

The library is more impressive than the book . It was a 10 minute exhibit for 10 euros but any bibliophile will leave ecstatic.

Quiet experience. A small library museum , the architecture of the old library is arguably more interesting than the manuscript itself.

Incredible place. One of a kind.

Amazing place, the library is worth the cost of admission!

Largest library in Ireland. Its collection of manuscripts & printed boks date back to the end of the 16th century. It contains the 4 gospels of the bible written in Latin. Adult 9€ / Students 8€

Check out the book of Kells at trinity library . It's a quick little tour worthy of an afternoon

Truly amazing place. Home of Book of Kells, but also so much more to see..

There is a bit of a queue so not too many people are inside at the same time, but the long room is worth the wait.

Book online for quick entry. The exhibition is amazing so don't spend time queuing and rush in!

Most of the books are gone for restoration but still a great architectural space

Long Room and Book of Kells are a must!!

Fun exhibit . Can be very crowded . By your tickets online in advance and avoid the lines .

A great experience standing between books from all age and time

Wow. This place is amazing. No pictures can really capture it. Sometimes the line out front can be quiet long.

Don't miss it! A must for history (medieval), design and typografy geeks.

It's a must see attraction . Half prices tickets from 4.30 PM. You can easily see the whole thing in 20 minutes.

A must see for visitors to Dublin. Located at Trinity College on Southside of City .

The Long Room is just wow and breathtaking.
